^ THE 

Story of Jack and Jill 

Is usually rendered thus in the modern nursery editions : 

Jack and Jill went up the hill 

To fetch a pail of water, 

When Jack fell down, and broke his crown, 

And Jill came tumbling after. 

Jack up got and home did trot, 

As fast as he could caper; 

His brother Bob plastered his knob 

With vinegar and brown paper. 

And in the earlier editions the-following verses appeared : 

Little Jane ran up the lane 
To hang the clothes a-drying; 
She called for Nell to ring the bell, 
For Jack and Jill were dying. 
Nimble Dick ran up so quick 
He stumbled over a timber ; 
He bent his bow to kill a crow, 
And shot a cat in the window.

PREFACE. 



-ooXJ^OO- 





" Because the beginning seemeth abrupt, it needs that you know the occasion of these several 
adventures, for the method of a poet historical is not such as of an historiographer." — Spenser. 

SHE Nursery Melodies which the author has consulted do not give 
life) sucn information concerning the lives of Jack and Jill as he de- 
sired to obtain, in order to write their history with the particularity 
the subject seemed to demand. Mr. Spofford, the chief of the Library 
of Congress, extended all the facilities in his power to aid the author, 
who regrets that he is compelled to assert that the literature in that 
library, though abundant in other respects, is deficient in the matter of 
Jack arid Jill. Therefore, it became necessary to make inquiries else- 
where — among the private, though not extensive libraries of children. 
But even there the results were not satisfactory. It was found that the 
several writers of narratives of Jack and Jill do not agree as to the char- 
acter of the injury to Jack in the fall. They are, however, in harmony 
on the averment that his head was repaired by the application of " vinegar 
and brown paper." Taking this for granted, (and the author has, as yet, 
discovered no one who doubts the truth,) it is unreasonable to suppose 
that a broken crown could be repaired with such simple appliances ! 
Therefore, the sensible conclusion is that Jack's head was not broken but 
merely stunned. As to Jack's " capering " to his home, this would seem 
to be mere poetic license, not warranted by the facts ; or, it may have 
been intended to cast ridicule on the event which endangered his life ! 

By a strange mistake, which cannot be explained, the following inap- 
propriate verse was added to the earlier editions of the history : 

" Nimble Dick ran up so quick, 
He stumbled over a timber ; 
He bent his bow to kill a crow, 
And shot a cat in the window." 



*tfi 






PRE FA CE. 




Evidently this verse belonged to some other story. The fact is so ap- 
parent that the author utterly rejects it, without passing an opinion on its 
poetic merit. 

The story of Jack and Jill is as truthfully set forth in these pages as the 
opportunities for obtaining information warrant ; and the author will ad- 
here to this belief until authentic records — not mere logical disquisitions 
— shall be produced to convince him of mistake ! 

The name of Jack is from the French Jacques, and Latin Jacobus ; 
and Jack is the diminutive of John, as understood among ourselves. 

Julienne was in vogue among the Norman families. It long prevailed 
in England as Julyn, and became so common as Gillian that Jill was the 
regular companion of Jack. We have from this the name of Juliana. 

Shakspeare, in his play of the "Midsummer Night's Dream," written 
about two hundred and seventy-five years ago, alludes to the characters 
of Jack and Jill ; and Ray, in his " Proverbs," speaks of them in a pleas- 
ant way ; the latter asserting, as a truth, that " a good Jack makes a good 
Jill ; " which fact is illustrated in these pages. 

Ben Jonson, in his " Gypsies," says : 

"I can, for I will, 
Here at Burley o' the hill, 
Give you all your fill, 
Each Jack with his Jill." 

In a note to " Specimens of Lyric Poems," composed in England during 
the reign of Edward the First, six hundred years ago, it is said there was 
an old play, now lost, called " Jack and Jill." 

Researches show that King James I. of Scotland, who died in 1437, 
wrote the poem of " Christ's Kirk on the Green," from which it appears 
that Gillie scorned and made mouths at Jok ; which treatment, to say 
the least, was unkind, and that Jok " would have loved Gillie " but " she 
would not let him." This statement cannot refer to our Jack and Jill, 
unless, by an extension of the imagination, it can be supposed that Gillie

r 



was finally " brought to terms " by Jok, as is sometimes the case in love 
adventures. It is certain, however, that the royal bard selected these 
two euphonic names to adorn his poetry, and has linked them with im- 
perishable fame ! 

The author affectionately requests the readers of this poem to believe 
that he has undertaken to reconcile probabilities with facts, while discard- 
ing the absurdities of compilers, his object being to restore the history to 
its original seriousness ! 

" 'Tis not indeed my talent to engage 
In lofty trifles, or to swell my page 
With wind_and noise." 

For centuries the simple story of Jack and Jill has delighted millions 
upon millions of children, who, in after years, did not forget the narrative. 
It has always been pleasant to recall the story, and so it will continue to 
be in coming time, as long as there is a child in Christendom with the 
ability to understand the oral relation of the story, or to read it without 
adult assistance. 

The author submits his poem, not to public criticism, but to the judgment 
of all who appreciate contributions to literature, and especially as his 
production will, he is sure, fill a vacancy in the libraries of the world, 
provided the history of Jack and Jill be not rejected in consequence of 
the ridicule heretofore thoughtlessly cast upon their names ! 

The narrative should have a place appropriate to the merits of the humble 
characters never to be separated from English and American memories. 
The author is certain that the poem will adorn the Library of Congress, 
as the law requires two specimens of all copyrighted works to be placed 
within its sacred keeping !

CHAPTER I. 

The Home of Jack and Jill — Their Parents — " John Anderson my 
jo" — The Habits and Occupation of Jack and Jill — Their In- 
dustry and its Fruits — Country Morals, etc. 

IN literature we've Jack and Jill, 
Preserved in nursery rhyme, 
Of interest now to young and old, 
As in the ancient time. 

It is not told where they were born, 

Or who their parents were, 
But certain 'tis they parents had, 

Who nurtured them with care, 

And fitted them as best they could 

To lead a happy life, 
That Jack a husband good should be, 

And Jill a model wife.

Now, in the walk of humble life, 
And in their married state, 

The great and small alike may find 
Much good ^0 imitate.

"John Anderson, my Jo John," 
A song which you 've heard often, 

Which will henceforth, as in the past, 
The soul's best feelings soften, 

Tells how John climbed the hill of life, 

By blessings rich attended, 
And to the vale, without a fall, 

With his good wife descended. 

Alas! not so with reference 

To rustic Jack and Jill, 
Who went up slower than they came 

Adown the slippery hill! 

From this Burns, maybe, made his song, 

Much everywhere admired, 
With such improvements as his Muse 

And kindly heart inspired.

The city has its gayety, 

Where wealth and thrift abound, 
And vice and virtue, strongly marked, 

In neighborhood are found. 

But many love the country more, 

With its untainted air, 
The woodland, and the field, and lawn 

And better morals there. 

And in this rural life are hearts 
Which do not vices know; 

But virtues which mankind adorn, 
And happiness bestow. 



More rich are they with grateful hearts, 
From which contentment springs, 

Than those whose e'er increasing wealth 
No true enjoyment brings. 

Jack led a strictly moral life, 
Which was a theme of praise, 

And everybody wished that he 
Could follow in Jack's ways.

He did not ardent spirits drink 

For artificial cheer, 
But was contented with supplies 

Of Jill's refreshing beer. 

He ne'er neglected Mrs. Jill, 

Nor close attention paid 
To any neighbor's pretty wife, 

Or any comely maid. 

No tenpin alley, sample room, 

Or vulgar concert hall, 
Could him from his domestic state 

And occupation call. 

He owned a little tract of ground, 

To which he gave his toil, 
And was rewarded with the fruits 

That issued from the soil. 

His cot was plain, but neatly kept 

By Jill, with humble pride, 
Who freely whitewash used within ^ 

And on the boards outside. ff$£

She planted flower-seeds in the yard, 
Near to the cottage-gate, 

And paid attention to the soil 
That they might germinate. 

The generous earth its beauties gave, 

Rare, odorous, profuse, 
With all the primal colors 

And of variegated hues. 

Her cabbages and onions were 
The best her neighbors knew, 

With other culinary plants 
Which in her garden grew. 

She fed her fowl, she milked her cow, 
And everywhere 'twas said 

No woman in the country 
Better bread and butter made. 

In all she did, indoors or out, 
She showed good taste and skill, 

Which Jack her husband seconded 
3& With ready act and will.

CHAPTER II. 

Domestic Comfort — Rural Luxury — Proof of Affection — Going for 
the Water — The Drink — The Circumstances attending the 
Fall — Misfortunes from a Cooling Draught, etc. 

T N time of summer Jack and Jill, 
-*- Their dinner being o'er, 
Sat down to talk and rest themselves 
Before their cottage-door. 

The shower that brightened tree and grass 

Had cooled the heated air, 
And light winds through the clover-bloom 

Conveyed its fragrance there. 

Said Jill " I thirst, I want a drink 

Drawn from our favorite spring, 
When Jack replied " I'll water get, 

If you a vessel bring." 

Responsive to Jack's readiness 

His loving Jill supplied 
The pail, which had been lately scoured, 

And placed it at his side.

As little Mary had a lamb, 

Whose fleece was white, like snow, 
And wheresoever Mary went 

The lamb was sure to go ; 

Jill with devotion quite as strong 

Attended on her Jack, 
Who always found her at his side 

Or closely at his back. 

Said she " I'll go along with you, 
To cheer you on the way, 

Because I care not at this place 
Without my Jack to stay." 

Then up they went the hillside steep 

The water to obtain, 
But with no purpose at the spring 

To very long remain. 

They took a deep and cooling drink, 
And filled the wooden pail, 

But on returning to their cot 
Departed from the trail.

Their eyes were turned toward Nature's charms, 

Extending all around, 
With dotting flowers upon her robes 

And by the greenwood bound. 

Birds resting in their leafy homes 

From weariness of flight, 
Upon the beauteous scene looked forth 

And warbled with delight. 

The ground being wet with recent rain 

And slippery to the tread, 
Jack fell adown the steep hillside 

And struck upon his head! 

Jill screamed like any other wife 

Who for her husband feels, 
But in her haste to reach her Jack 

She tumbled at his heels. 

Alas ! this shows that in an hour 

When mortals little think 
Misfortune will upon them come 

E'en from a cooling drink !

CHAPTER III. 

What Jill did after the Accident — Timely Arrival of Assistance — 
The Alarm — Tolling of the Bell — Wonderful Effects of Vinegar 
and Brown Paper — The Recovery — The Lesson. 

POON Jill arose and cried for help, 
^ Which very soon was found; 
The neighbors handled Jack with care 
And raised him from the ground. 

They bore him to his cottage home 

And placed him in his bed, 
While words gave way to silent grief 
. And tears were freely shed. 

The news soon flew, both far and near; 

The villagers, alarmed, 
Rushed wildly to the scene to learn 

If Jack was sorely harmed ! 

Twas then that little Jane, who 'd just 

Put out her clothes to dry, 
Tore her blonde hair and wrung her hands 

As she began to cry.

She thought Jack dead, and in her grief 

Implored her sister Nell 
To hasten to the village church 

And forthwith toll the bell. 

Ah ! 'twas a time of deepest woe 
To poor Jack's every friend, 

Who thought that he had by the fall 
Come to a fatal end ! 

Jack had a brother very kind, 
Bob was his common name; 

Soon as he heard the tolling bell 
With breathless haste he came. 

And bending o'er his brother Jack, 
Feeling his head with care, 

He was rejoiced to find no bump 
Nor any fracture there ! 

Jack gave a sign which showed that he 

Was not among the dead, 
And while he groaned in deep distress 
^ He pointed to his head.

It thus appeared Jack was but stunned — 
E'en this was much deplored — 

And that by simple remedies 
He soon might be restored. 

Brown paper, steeped in vinegar, 

With confidence was tried, 
And was by Bob with tender hand 

To Jack's hurt head applied. 

This had a wonderful effect, 

And brought to Jack relief; 
There now was no excuse for tears 

Or utterance of grief! 

The neighbors all rejoiced that Jack 

Was without any pain, 
Or even scratch, and hoped that he 

Would ne'er fall down again ! 

Jack, now restored to cheerful health, 

Industrious was found, 
Attending to his faithful Jill 

And to his farming ground. 

He lived for many years in peace 
And happiness with Jill ;

Their children meantime played upon 
But ne'er fell down the hill ! 

Since these events proud governments 

Of glory have been shorn, 
And others disappeared in gloom, 

With few the loss to mourn; 

While nations weak have grown in strength, 
And e'en our own had birth, 

The freest and the happiest 
Existing on the earth. 

Though countless names illuminate 

The history of man, 
For warlike acts and civic deeds 

E'er since the world began, 

No characters are better known 

Than humble Jack and Jill, 
With incidents concerning them 

That happened on the hill. 

From which a lesson may be learned, 
Of interest to all: 
§ a Let them who think that they firm stand 

Take heed lest they shall fall !
